SPOOL HQOLDER Filed June 15, 19 28 Patented Mar. 18, 1930 PATENT orries samunr. KAISER, or con ISLAND, New YonK SPOOL HOLDER Application filed June 15, 1928. Serial No. 285,595,

This invention relates to a spool holder. The object of the invention 1s the production of a holder for spools of thread and the like and with which-spools can very easily be connected thereto and detached therefrom.

The second object of the invention is the production of a holder for spools of thread,

whereby the thread of any of the spools can be easily drawn therefrom while the spools are in place upon said holder. The third object of the invention is the production of a a ly segregated from one another and located inplain viewand accessible.

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents an elevation of an exemplification of the spool holder; Fig. 2 shows a top plan view of Fig 1; Fig. 3 indicates an enlarged section of ig. 2 on the line 3, 3; Fig. 4 rep- 20 resents an enlarged section of Fig. 2 on the line 4, 4; Fig. 5 indicates a top plan view of Fig. 4; Fig. 6 shows an elevation of a modification and Fig. 7 re resents a fragmentary plan view of the mo ification.

25 The holder in this instance consists essentially of the main cylindrical wire frame designated in its entirety by the numeral 20, the central column designated in its entirety by the numeral 50 and the upper wire susthe numeral 55.

The main frame comprises the outer upper wire ring 21, that has formed therein the plurality of guide loops 22. A lower central supporting block has formed there in the central threaded opening 26, and a plurality of openings 27 adjacent to its outer circumferential edge 28. A plurality of supporting arms are indicated each as having t e members 30 and 31. I The inner end of each member 30 has formed therewith a loop 33 which engages one of the o enings 27 and the end 34 of each loop is soldered to the member 30. The outer end of each member 31 has formed at right angles thereto the upright portion 35. The latter are soldered or otherwise fastened to the wire ring 21. The adjacent ends of the members 30 and 31 are twisted about each other and form thereby the spool spindles 36. A stem 38 has its spool holder wherewith the spools are detach-' pending frame designated in its entirety. by

upper end entwined by each of the spindles 36 and has formed at its lower end the guide 100 40.

inner lower wire ring 41 is soldered to or otherwise fastened to the members 31 and has formed therewith a plurality of spool spindles 42, which are made by twisting portions ofthe ring 41 around each other. Each of the spindles 42' is in a line extending through the axial center of the supporting block 25 and one of the guide loops 22.

The central column 50 has formed at its lower end the threaded shank 51, and at its upper end the threaded shank 52. The threaded shank 51 is in threaded engagement with the threaded opening 26 of the lower central supporting block 25.

The upper central suspending frame 55, comprises the upper central block 56, having the axial threaded opening 57, and a plurality of openings 58 adjacent to its outer circumferential edge. The threaded shank 52 of the column 50 is in threaded engagement with the threaded opening 57.

The wire frame 55 is indicated with a plurality of guide loops having the upper portions 62 and the lower portions 63. Supporting arms 65 have each formed at their ends the loops 66 and 67 which respectively engage the openings 58 and the upper ortions 62 of the so upper wire central suspen ing frame. The ends of the loops 66 and 67 are soldered to the arms .65.

A suspending arm 70 has formed in its central portion the loop 71 and in its ends 35 are formed the loops 72, which latter engage the portions 62 frame 55. v

A suspending sprin 75 is indicated with the u per loop 76 and the lower loop 77. The loop 7 engages the loop 71, and by means of 90 the upper loop 7 6 the spool holder is suspended from a ceiling orother support.

A hanger 80 having the loop 81 at its lower end extends from the threaded shank 51, and a cake of wax 82 is suspended from the loop 81 by means of the cord 83. Spools of thread 85 are rotatably and removably supported on the spindles 42, and spools of thread 86 are .rotatably and removably supported on the spindles 36. The thread 88 fromeachof the v spools 85 leads through aiid is guided in the guide loops 22, and the thread 89 from each of the spools 86 leadsup' to and is guided on the lower portion 63 of each of the loops of the upper frame 55, and then leads through the guide loop 40 below the spool spindle 36.

' By this disposition of the spools and their threads the latter are kept from entangling g with one another and are always ready for suspending frame is again indicated at55 with its suspending arm 70. The central.

block'56 with its arm is dispensed with.

The lower central supporting block 25 is also dispensed with. The main frame 20 is again shown with the wire ring 21 having the'guide loops 22 and in lace of the supporting arms having the members 30 and 31 there are substituted supporting arms 94 each with an upright portion 95, which latter are soldered or otherwise fastened to the main frame 20 as already described. The arms 94 overlap each other and are soldered to each other as indicated at 96. A plurality of rings 97, in this instance four, are suspended from theloops of the upper wire suspendin' frame 55 and supporting arms 98 connect the rings 97 and the ring 21. It is to be understood thatinstead of the spools of thread 85 and 86, spools wit(l11 other material wound thereon may be use end in threaded engagement with the threaded opening of said block, said column having a threaded shank at its lower end, a main cylindrical frame having guide loops formed therewith, a lower central supporting block for the main frame, supporting arms having each one end fastened to the lower central supporting block-and their outer ends "fastened to the outer circumferential portion of the main frame, a'plurality of spool spindles formed with the supporting arms of the main frame, stems extending from and below some of said spool spindles, guide loops formed at the lower ends of said stems, said spool spindleseach adapted to rotatably and removably support a spool of thread, guide loops in the main frame adapted to guide threads leading from said spools, and the guide loops in the upper suspending frame also adaptedto guide threads extending from said spools, the latter threads leading to and through the guide loops extending from said stems.
